About this title

Review:

"Through all these stories, Gilchrist levels her keen gaze and wickedly funny wisdom on the relationships we all stumble through--with parents and children, friends and lovers, strangers and those we hold most dear. Her insights will, at times, move you deeply."

"Nine out of the ten pieces here are marvelous. The reader can only be grateful."

"Each story is a gem....Gilchrist's writing is full of stories to read and reread for their humor, unflinching honesty, and universal humanity that defies class and regional boundaries."
